Ken thanks for the quick response am runing on the application...we hope to gain miliage by means of bring the volunteer work force in harmony with the baord and star our project most effectively in the Gap region the state Edo state government can't reach and believe it it is much....however,i will like to invite you and Ushihadi into Nigeria's events and democracy development....

I'm sure that is good guidance. My concern is that we might need a very large intervention and control group to study hypertension, if for example, only 70% had cell phones that could receive SMS, 50% volunteered to participate and there was a 30% attrition rate.

I assume we can batch SMS but I don't know about reverse billing using FrontlineSMS so the recipient would not be charged. Also, I have never attempted a study with SMS. If we ask their blood pressure results, I suppose they could respond with 120 80 or two text messages, one for systolic BP and one for diastolic BP. This is all exploratory so there are a lot of details we need to work out. Thanks for your help

I am using FLSMS with my application in JSP. I am able to send an SMS writing via FLSMS using my jsp code. Now, I have set up a keyword, set an auto reply and an http request for it. The auto reply is sent and the http request shows a hit but the jsp page is not executed. Does anyone has any idea about this problem...?
